Cheesecake, one of my favorite things in life, add some chocolate to the cheesecake and life just does not get any better than that. Sara Lee now has on the market for your convenience ”Sara Lee Bites”; wonderful little morsels of chocolate or strawberry cheesecake. Keep these in your freezer and when you need a little taste of sweet just pop one in your mouth.
If you are like me one bite leads to another until before you know it the box is empty. Should you have some “Sara Lee Bites” in your freezer make sure to keep track of the bites you consume.
Roughly 20 bites is equal to 1/2 cup (a serving of ice cream) 440 calories
and 14 grams of saturated fat.
One A Day Weight-Smart promises to convert the food you eat to energy, interesting, since your body converts food to energy even if you do not take a pill. There is a plus here, if you take one of the Weight-Smart pills you will not need your morning cup of coffee; each pill has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.
As a nutrition fact label coach, I counsel my clients with diabetes, heart disease, and weight control issues to interpret and apply the nutritional data on commercially produced foods. Buying processed foods is like signing a legal document, read the fine print or your health will be in serious trouble. In the “Food Industry’s Gredd” Lois proves my point with respect to Omega-3 food labeled products. This book isn’t overly long yet the omega-3 information will result in many long term health benefits for consumers. A must read for anyone confused by omega-3 and omega-6 labels today. I highly recommend this book.
Lois is giving the first 20 purchers a 30 minute free consultation to answer any questions you might have about the omegas, inflamation, and research in the book. To get a free consultation just send your receipt to support@omega3labels.com
I have four dogs, so it is just as important to me to know what is in the food they consume as it is to know what is in the food I consume. Natural is fast becoming a favorite word in advertising dog food and as with human food the word natural is over used and very misleading.
When shopping yesterday I spotted All Natural Muti Mutt Spots, a chocolate chip cookie for your dog boasting this treat does not contain cholesterol. About the second ingredient listed is partially hydrogenated vegetable oil; a chemically produced ingredient that creates cholesterol once it is consumed.
This is not false advertising, the product does not contain cholesterol, but your dog may after eating treats containing this type of fat.
Benecol margarine “Proven to reduce cholesterol“ so it states on the front of the container. The ingredient in Benecol advertised to make this possible is plant stanol esters.
Even if plant stanol esters in fact lower your cholesterol Benecol contains “partially hydrogenated soybean oil“, this is a trans-fat that raises cholesterol levels in your body. By-the-way Benecol also advertises “no trans fats”, this means there is a 1/2 gram or less per tablespoon(a serving). In order for you to receive cholesterol lowering benefits from the plant stanol esters you must consume 3 TBLSPS. of Benecol in a day.
The partially hydrogenated soybean oil may prolong the life of Benecol I am not sure it will help to prolong yours.
